Manchester United
The Red Devils head into this tie on the back of an embarrassing 7-0 loss at Anfield. Prior to that defeat, Man United had remained unbeaten since a 3-2 loss to Arsenal in January, a run which earned them victory over Barcelona and an EFL Cup win against Newcastle.
Having won their first silverware since 2017, Man United are still in the FA Cup and the Europa League, hence they would fancy their chances and feel upbeat about their ability to clinch the two trophies. To make this a reality, they must get past the hurdle posed by Real Betis.
In this tie, they would be counting on their impressive home run which has seen them remain without defeat at Old Trafford since a 1-0 home loss to Real Sociedad in September last year. In fact, they have won their last 4 home ties in a row. If all goes well and this home form continues, Man United would remain in contention for a place in the last 8 with a big advantage going into the second leg.
Real Betis
Real Betis are looking to get past this stage having failed to do so in their last 3 attempts in a row. However, the Spanish side face a daunting task here having lost four of their previous 6 games against English opponents. In addition, they have won just one of their last seven knockout games in the Europa League; a 3-2 win over Zenit St Petersburg in February 2022.
Despite the huge task and the quality of the opponents they face, Real Betis would be counting on their current league form in this tie. In the last 3 games, Betis won all, pushing them to 5th on the log, 3 points behind 4th place Real Sociedad. Here, they would be looking to replicate this form and do the unexpected against Ten Haag’s men.

Our preview and predictions for Man United Vs Real Betis
Manchester United are desperate to right the wrongs and soothe the pain inflicted on them by Liverpool. Although their hopes of challenging for the league title has been heavily dented by that 7-0 loss, the Red Devils would look to remain in contention for another silverware as they chase a possible treble this season. Here, their confidence would be bolstered by their current home form which has seen them score at least twice in each of their last 5 home ties. To this end, going by Konfambet’s odd of 1.55, we are backing the home side to score at least 2 goals in this match.
Considering what is at stake here and the drive of these sides to have a strong showing in this first leg knockout tie, we expect fireworks all the way. Based on this, with Bet365’s odd of 1.91, we are anticipating that at least 10 corners will be played here.
